I get ticked off when prominent people w/ money & influence cynically lie to the public about elections & voting tech. Elon Musk said a lot of bullshit last night. So I wrote an op-ed for MSNBC. Here are the facts. h/t @hayesbrown.bsky.socialwww.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Opinion | I ran Twitter’s civic integrity team. Elon Musk knows nothing about how elections are run.

Everything looks suspicious when you don’t know how anything works.

Make using “cretin” popular again.

Perhaps Musk's most bizarre argument came when he argued U.S. elections are vulnerable due to a lack of paper ballots. "The last thing I would do is trust a computer program," he told the audience. This was a very strange comment from a businessman who is pitching automated driverless robotaxis and robovans that depend on computer-driven artificial intelligence to protect human lives, as well as computer-driven rockets that hope to extend human civilization through the colonization of Mars.

Generally the richer you are the more you fear the poor and turn against democracy

I'm not even American but nothing worries me more than American politics. Specially due to the fact that politicians here in South Africa glorify American systems so much, yet they undermine people so blatantly.

Thank you for this. It should be read by everyone, everywhere, every election!

First, thank you. Well schooled and decades of experience point to this: Musk is lucky* rich and ethically destitute. *Brief: right contacts, geographic place, right concept & logistics meets (creates?) gestating demand. In an open competitivecapitalist environment lucky isn’t sustainable.
